    Not so sure what an SRS in the badge name is (never heard of it on a Accord), but SRS is normally to do with the airbag etc - Supplemental Restraint System. On my Accord it deploys the airbag and tightens the seatbelts when in a collision.

    Yes, SRS stands for Supplemental Restraining System.

    This means the onboard computer determins how fast and how much of an impact the car sustains in a collision before the air bags are deployed. It also controls how hard the seat belt pretensioners are applied depending on how much force is applied to the car's brakes at the time. This is designed to reduce the possibility of occupents from sustaining neck or back injuries if involved in a collision.

    96 - 98 1.8i litre Accord had around 115bhp. 2.0i litre had around 130bhp.

    If you can afford the 2.0 litre then go for that one. I had a 1994 Accord 2.0i a good few years ago, sweet car to drive and plenty of go in it.

    I think those figures are from the 1999 - 2003 Accord which used the newer iVTEC engines.

    Afaik 1996 - 1998 Accord 2.0i had 130bhp.

    nope, if ya check the parkers.co.uk site thats what it says for the model years 1/4/93 to 1/6/97. However, you are correct some of the 2.0l are only 130bhp. I think there the 2.0i and other basic models.
